I'm so ass at measuring distance that if I woke up in a Saw trap and the only requirement was to "run 30 ft, give or take a foot or two" I would still fuck it up and get slaughtered

The most amazing thing I realized after going on Ozempic was that I was actually getting use out of the food I ate. I couldn't put away as much as I used to because I actually FELT those satiety signals I never did before.

For four decades, I never felt the "fullness signal" diet culture told me my body would naturally send when I had enough. For me, the only way I could tell I was full was if my stomach literally hurt from fullness. So I figured everyone else was just full of shit and consciously decided when to stop, and wanted to shame us fatties for lacking self control (being an as-yet unidentified asexual likely contributed to this, as I had previous experience with "things EVERYONE feels!" very much not applying to anything I felt). What followed was years of flailing between bouts of overeating, undereating, hypoglycemia, and compulsively snacking to make sure I didn't swing too low again.

Then, after the inevitable diabetes diagnosis, I was put on Ozempic. And I finally understood what the satiety signal was: for the first time, I still had a decent amount of food left on my plate, but I had zero desire to finish it. I wasn't painfully full, either! Just... done.

And sugary things began holding less appeal to me. I'd always been a dessert hound, but I found I craved sweets much less often. I actually find myself actively swerving away from the sweets I usually snacked on, and overall don't feel the urge to eat nearly as frequently as I used to.

Fatphobia would have you believe I've been "cured" of gluttony, and sadly that's how and why Ozempic is being marketed to the point of shortage. But this post put the last puzzle piece into place for me as to why this transformation has felt so revelatory for me: it's literally because, as OP said, diabetes starved my body of the nutrients it needs. It's even in the name: "diabetes" is derived from the Greek "diabainein," or "to pass through." My body—all diabetics' bodies—was so starved of proper nutrition that it constantly told me to feed it in hopes that at least some of it would stick.

But because I'm a short fat woman, it's clearly the fat that's making me suffer, and of course I only got that way because I'm a greedy little piggie. If you'd just put the fork down, it'd solve itself!

Wait, you get dizzy and confused when you put the fork down? Well, maybe if you didn't eat so much in the first place, that wouldn't happen! ;)

bah. I'm glad I live in an age when there IS an injectable medicine that finally grants my body the ability to metabolize food correctly, but the road getting there is bullshit.

anyway tl;dr seconding that diabetes isn't punishment for liking cookies too much. It's a horrible disease, it sucks, and our collective culture is still too hung up on "eww fat people" to recognize the importance of treating it.

Diabetes isnt the 'ate too many sweets disease'. It just fucking is not. It's your body slowly losing an integral function needed to nuture and energize it. Its your pancreas shutting down, its your blood cells rejecting your attempts to feed itself, its not enough insulin to go around. Its you slowly getting colder and weaker, gorging yourself with healthy food and getting next to no benefit, its being so exhausted you cant sleep. Diabetes used to kill, straight-up KILL. So no, I don't think I will be laughing at your diabetes joke.

Reminder.

This is what the shooter looks like.

Gray jacket. Light gray backpack.

This is what the apparent suspect looked like the same day at Starbucks.

Green/brown jacket and black back pack

Notice lack of unibrow.

Luigi day of arrest.

Unibrow present and stubble on face/neck.

Why is this important? Because Starbucks guy doesn't have those.

Which leads me to perp walk luigi.

"Oh they must have a great barber lmaooo" no. Stop joking for a second. No one gets this treatment so why him? Because they are trying to make him look like the Starbucks perp. They think we are dumb and will forget shooter Mcgee doesn't look anything like Starbuck boy.

Luigi said evidence was planted on him like the gun and the manifesto.

I believe this because the manifesto praises the efforts of the policemen on like page one. Like they couldn't even not suck their own dicks for 3 seconds to plant compelling evidence.

Do not let these people fool you. Luigi did not do this. Even though it's funny, even though he's hot even though <insert myriad of excuses I've heard here>. Do not let them get away with brainwashing you into believing he did it even if you agree with what happened.

I'm pro UHC shooter.

I'm pro luigi being released because hes innocent.

happy 10th anniversary to the best video of all time

no migrant detention facilities are not auschwitz but i promise you something does not have to be auschwitz in order to be very bad. i am telling you that this comparison distracts from the point instead of galvanizing support by inviting discussion about the appropriateness of the comparison. i am telling you that there are ways to make people listen and ways to make them tune out, especially in a time like now.

They've filled the Normandy with people who look up to you in an effect to placate you and make you feel at home, but it's more alienating than if everyone hated you. They've given you your own private quarters but they make you feel alone and cut off from everyone. They say it's your ship, just like the one flew on before, and that you're in command, only there are doors that won't open for you and are locked tight. They parade before you a friend you knew who is so excited about all of this, but you didn't live through that and you're not over what you lost like he is. You look in the mirror and you're literally cracking at the seams and they tell you and only you can save the galaxy - enough that you were worth billions of resources to bring back - and you think about the soldier, the friend, you lost on Virmire and how nobody thought to bring them back. You're a ghost everyone is worshipping, a legend that everyone is clinging to, a soldier, a spectre, a saviour, a hero, but not a person anymore.

I got curious after joking in the tags of lrb and looked up what possible laws applied to obtaining a gun in Ohio

...you legit do not need to do anything if you just want to buy a gun. the only license you need is if you want to carry it around everywhere but not where people can see.

I thought the whole "it's so easy to get a gun in America" was at least a little hyperbolic, but it turns out it literally is as easy as showing up to a seller and saying "gimme a gun, boss"

I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. My sister was able to buy a handgun for her convicted felon husband, no problem (he later killed himself with it, which tbh was a favor to everyone).

still. man. sucks to be confronted this bluntly by the stupidity of your country's legal priorities.
